Fried Banana Wontons with Black & White Drizzle

I saw this in the Sept. 2010 issue of the Rachel Ray Magazine and I knew I had to try it! It didn't let me down! I was easy and delicious. We ate it for breaky with eggs but it will be a great dessert too. I'm probably making it next week for our small group. This recipe makes 12 wontons, but you can easily double the recipe for a bigger crowd...Yes, I know it's been along time since my last blog but... what can I say, I'm here now so that counts for something right! :)
Fried Banana Wontons with Black and White Drizzle
  • 1/2 C choc chips
  • 1/4 C heavy cream 
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 2 bananas, sliced
  • 1 egg white, 1 tsp of water beaten
  • 6 TB butter
  • 1/2 cream frache or a bottle of "tshhht" aka Whip Cream (that's the sound my kids would make when they were little to tell me they wanted a squirt in the mouth of it, yes we do that...)
Melt the choc chips and heavy cream in the microwave in a small bowl, stirring often. 2 rounds at 40 sec each did it for us. Be careful not to burn it.  Lay out the wonton papers. Now here is a fork in the road... you can either fold them (make triangles), making 24 or top 12 with the wontons ontop like a sandwich. This is a personal decision. I did it the sandwich way but I might try it the triangle way next time. Top the wontons with banana slices and seal them with the egg mixture (respective glue), push it snug to seal the top and bottom. Add some butter at medium heat and add your first batch of wontons. Cook on each side for 2 minutes. Remove when golden brown. Wipe pan and repeat.  Pile onto plates and top with chocolate sauce and cream! Delish!
